The plot continues to thicken for the Memphis Grizzlies. As soon as it became known that the Grizzlies were willing to deal star forward Rudy Gay in favor of some salary cap relief, all proverbial hell broke loose in Memphis.

The NBA’s Development League kicked off its showcase week with a couple of match-ups earlier Monday. One of those games involved the Erie BayHawks. 37 year old NBA veteran Mike James had been one of the BayHawks’ bright spots in last year’s showcase when he received a call-up from the Chicago Bulls. This year, it [...]

From the moment Royce White was drafted by the Rockets, the two were getting set for a player-organization stand-still. White had been very open about his issues with anxiety disorder. In fact, he made it quite clear early on that he was not going to risk his mental health for an NBA career. An understandable [...]

Serge Ibaka is one of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s several bright spots this year. OKC’s big man maintains the block figure (3 per game) that we’ve come to expect of him. But he’s become an even bigger factor on the offensive side of things this year. Ibaka sits on averages of 14.5 ppg and 8.5 [...]

Offense was more of a formality, evidenced by their 88 possessions per game average (good for 28th in the league). Words like “ugly” or [...]

Before the Rockets snagged their franchise 2-guard, they were seen as something of a stumbling experiment in off-season missteps. Jeremy Lin was signed to an extravagant deal, one that Houston deemed fit after Lin’s 35 games as a Knickerbocker (25 started). They went and signed Carlos Delfino in the dead of night. Houston also traded [...]

The New York Knicks need Amar’e Stoudemire bad. Like really bad. I’m not going to sit here and attempt to explain the intricacies of re-integrating him into the lineup and how it will only help the Knicks—I’ve already done that. What I will sit here and gladly admit to you is that New York is [...]

Andrei Kirilenko has had a pretty darn good return to the NBA thus far. Rejoining via the Timberwolves, “AK47” has been up to his old statistical tricks. Kirilenko is now averaging 13.9 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 3.9 apg, while also contributing 2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. On two consecutive games, Kirilenko has had to [...]
